Pests on plants | | Dude, a good home remedy is garlic-pepper tea. Just get a gallon container (an old milk jug will do), wash it out real well, grind up a jalpeneo and a couple cloves of garlic, place the ground up mix in a coffee filter and tie it off with enough string so it can be lowered to the bottom of the jug. Fill with water and set in the sun for a couple days. Pour the liquid in a sprayer bottle, discard the filter packet with the mix in it, and save the remainder of the liquid. Spray the plants (be sure to get the underside of the leaves), then respray in a week. It smells like garlic for a week, but if you do it, you won't have bugs and it won't hurt the plant (it actually gives some acidity-like foliar feeding). Good luck. |
